    I realized that this device doesn't control the TV or volume and I was okay with that compromise. I didn't realize that this was line of sight IR remote control also. That has made the set up and hanging the box (and facing it in the right direction) a little bit more of a hassle. For that reason I would recommend spending a few extra dollars and ordering the next step up. The regular Roku's can usually hang behind the TV or mess of cords and still receive the signal fine.

    I just purchased a Roku Express for my 10 year old HD TV. I wanted to be able to do streaming and start cutting the cable cord. However, nothing is wrong with my TV. It is just not a smart tv. I researched and determined that the Roku platform was best for me and the express device was the preferred model. I am not super tech savvy; however, the installation was simple. I would highly recommend this device.

    Purchased for my 90 yr old mother for streaming. Tough to teach her new tricks and the Amazon fire stick made it impossible because of all the activity on the screen. The ROKU box however allows you to turn all the noise off and only the apps you want are visible on the screen. Phone calls for help from Mom went from daily to none. For folks that have difficulty moving from cable to streaming, Roku is the way to go.

    I bought this item in an rush because they didn't have the regular Roku. This player comes with very few instructions, and there is NO volume button on the remote. It takes a little while to learn to navigate, but it is not difficult. The device provides more television viewing options than anyone could ever imagin,e watching. It will assist me in cutting back on cable bills, which was my primary objective.

    Might need power adapter

    The picture quality is great. If your tv does not have a USB connection the guide says to use a power adapter like your phone has for power. I still had to use my phone adapter because I got a message that my USB connection isn’t providing enough power.

      Posted .

      Hello Roman, help is here! As a quick fix, we recommend using an adapter with a power output of 5 Volts and 1 Amp (1000 mA) or a regular phone charger adaptor and plugging it into a wall outlet. Connecting to a wall outlet has the added advantage of ensuring that your Roku streaming player doesn’t need to power up each time you turn on your TV. This means your player will be ready to use faster than if it were connected to the TV. For more information, please refer to this link: https://support.roku.com/article/217787747#section-2. If the issue persists, let us know at http://support.roku.com/contactus.
      Thanks!

    Looking for a quick way to add streaming apps to your TV? This is it! It truly is plug-and-play! I purchased this for my father-in-law and I'll admit I was a bit concerned that he wouldn't understand the interface. BUT he very quickly caught on and now has access to all his streaming services. Quick and easy!

    This is not the 4K model, if you need that support you will need the higher priced version. If you just want a simple streaming interface to connect to your non-smart TV or an older smart tv that is no longer supporting all of the newer apps this is the best option. Easy to use interface and does not require any new phone apps. The initial sign-in process is a little bit of pain.
